"I wasn't impressed with this recipe. It seemed like there was something lacking. Not sure what - but a spice of some sort to perk it up a bit. I will only remake this recipe if I can figure out what is lacking."

"It is fast and easy, and tastes like that. Everyone has their own tastes,this one just does not have enough zing to it for us. We like lots of flavor. I use 2 tsp. mild curry and 1 tsp hot curry. For me that was enough heat. Husband needed more. And I added 1/2 tsp. zested ginger root."

"This is a good recipe. My husband, who doesn't prefer spicy food, enjoyed it too. I used thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breast, which was fall-apart tender at the end of cooking. The only peach salsa I could find at Walmart was 'Great Value All-Natural Peach Pineapple Chipotle.' This was my first adventure with salsa with fruit in it, but when eating the dish I totally forgot it was in there until I found a sweet bite of pineapple. We thought the sweetness of the fruit helped round out the spicy curry. I loved the addition of fresh green beans. I don't like red bell pepper, but I really couldn't taste it. Next time I think I will add a second can of the cannellini beans because they are so homey and filling. I may also cut the curry to 2 teaspoons, because a whole tablespoon was pretty intense! I wish I had some vanilla bean ice cream to cool off my mouth!"

"This was really good! My hubby felt the recipe could of used more curry, but I liked it as is. I also didn't have green beans and simply left them out."
